The
hand-wringing American media is still blind to the jihad and its agenda.Israel has her back to the wall and we worry
that they might “start” something?

England slept while the Nazi’s took power in Europe.Does anyone recall JFK’s first book, Why
England Slept? Someday, the story will be finally written about how,
why and to what ill effects, the slanted, anti-Israel media succeeded in anesthetizing
American liberal opinion to the existential threat to Western civilization
posed by the jihad, all in the service of cultural diversity and political
correctness.

Hamas is a
terrorist organization on a par with al Qaeda, except that it has seized and
occupies territory – it controls the Gaza strip within easy rocket distance of
Israel.So much for the cuddly vision of
two peaceful states living side by side.

Israel is a civilized Western nation on a par with England,
except that is smaller.The modern state
of Israel is just as old as the United States of American was in 1830, but more
vulnerable.

We can use the term modern
advisedly where Israel is concerned.With a highly educated population of 7.9 million, Israel is an intensely
creative and productive country whose high tech sector enjoys a record of useful,
world class technological innovation that, like the biblical David who fought
goliath, far exceeds its size.

Israel is a stable democracy that honors free speech and
religious practice.Muslim Arabs serve
in Israel’s parliament.The converse is
not true anywhere among its Islamic neighbors.

Israel has more scientists and engineers, proportional to
its population, than any other country —145 for every 10,000 people.
Israel has raised more venture capital investment than any European
country by a margin of 20 percent. Using innovations, measured as patents
per capita, the top world rankings are [1] the United States, [2] Japan, [3] Switzerland,
[4] Finland, and [5] Israel. Don’t even bother to look for Egypt, Pakistan or
Iran.

Based on our shared values, a shared commitment to freedom
and our own cherished history (President Harry Truman and the United Nations
sanctioned the founding of the modern Israeli state in 1948), Israel is one of us.

Bear in mind that the Israeli left-liberal wing is just as
firm on their country’s right and duty to defend the homeland against deadly
attacks as the right-conservative wing is.The men and women of the Israeli left are just as humanitarian and
freethinking as any stateside liberal democrat, but they are hawks.

Israel has pursued a two state solution in good faith, while
its neighbors have not – preferring a one state solution on the same terms
Germany offered its Jews.Reasonable people of good will cannot expect a developed, western
democracy to commit suicide just to please uninformed liberal opinion in the
USA.

The Arab Spring has turned out to be the “Springtime
for Jihad”.The bloody, anti-Semitic
parallels with the Nazism of the 1930’s are chilling.The entire region is being taken over by
Muslim extremists in various disguises or none at all.Egypt is now a covert jihad ally. Jordan may
fall next.

Meantime, Anti-Zionist, drive-Israel-into-the-sea, ideologues
have been shelling Israeli territory with Qassam rockets
since 2001. Hamas has dramatically escalated the attacks, selected more
sensitive targets and upgraded the rockets.How much shelling would we
put up with?

When we hear of “only” 10 Israeli men, women and children
dying or getting seriously wounded in a single jihad attack, or only a few
hundred thousand families huddling in bomb shelters, bear in mind the
population difference.Israel has 8
million to our 315 million. {For perspective, keep in mind that 6 million innocent
people died in the holocaust.} To appreciate the scale of the threat to little
Israel, losing 10 innocent civilians in an attack is like losing 315 Americans in
a single missile strike near Washington DC.
